A.2.9:3 — Forces
Force
Tension
Minimality
Needs to be light enough for routine modeling and linting; not a full pragmatics or legal-instrument system.
Auditability
If used as a gate, it must be evidence-backed; but not all communicative acts are equally observable or retainable.
Interpretive locality
Recognition and institutional force depend on exact taxonomies, schemes, and current policies; F.9 is needed only when a receiving use really crosses local meanings.
Multi-party reality
Many real boundaries are multiparty (protocols, organizations); dyadic “speaker-hearer” is too narrow.
Multi-function reality
One utterance can carry multiple recognizable functions; “one act = one force” is often false.
Separation discipline
Must preserve kind ≠ actual act occurrence ≠ SpeechActRecord ≠ utterance description ≠ carrier or trace.
Use proportionality
A receiving-use judgement must remain useful without a full occurrence record, while audit or institutional reliance still needs exact Work, assignment, Method, taxonomy, policy, and evidence.
